Step-by-Step Instructions
Preparing the Ingredients
Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a pie dish, then mix almond flour, coconut flour, melted butter, powdered erythritol, and cinnamon to form a soft dough that will become your cinnamon almond crust.
Cooking Instructions
Press the dough evenly into the pie dish and bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden, then whisk eggs, heavy cream, granulated erythritol, vanilla, and salt until smooth, fold in chopped rhubarb, pour the mixture into the crust, and bake for 35–40 minutes until the center sets before allowing the pie to cool completely.
Tips for Perfect Results
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Avoid adding too much rhubarb at once because excess moisture can affect the custard texture, and do not skip pre-baking the crust since it helps prevent sogginess and keeps your sugar-free pie firm.
Pro Tips for Better Flavor
Use fresh rhubarb for the best taste, adjust sweetness slightly depending on your preference, and allow the pie to chill before slicing so the custard fully sets and delivers clean slices.
Serving and Storage
How to Serve
Serve Keto Rhubarb Custard Pie chilled or slightly at room temperature, optionally topped with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra richness.
How to Store Leftovers
Store leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days, and reheat gently or enjoy cold for the best texture.
